Manager, Financial Reporting

About KOHO

We’re on a mission to make financial services better for every Canadian. That means no hidden fees, no predatory interest rates - just financial products designed to help our users spend smart, save more, and build real wealth. We’re a performance organization with a strong heart: we care deeply about outcomes, and everything ties back to our mission - to financially empower a generation of Canadians.

At KOHO, we’re not your average 9-5. We believe real impact comes from people who are trusted, empowered, and supported to do their best work - without sacrificing their lives to do it. We prioritize work-life integration, not just work-life balance. That means asynchronous collaboration, flexible hours, and a remote-first setup built around autonomy and high trust.

KOHO is entering its next chapter - leaner, smarter, more AI-integrated. We’re building for impact, not bureaucracy. If you thrive in environments that value clarity, ownership, and bold thinking, you’ll fit right in.

KOHO’s purpose is to empower Canadians to build a great financial foundation with products that are radically transparent and easy to manage. We first launched in 2017, and we have since built a community of over 1 million users. Leading investors around the globe believe in our vision, and we’ve successfully raised over $320M to make our vision a reality. The KOHO collective has grown to 250 employees to date.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Financial reporting: Leading the production of accurate, timely, and compliant monthly consolidated financial statements and regulatory returns, ensuring audit scrutiny.
• Technical lead: Researching and documenting complex accounting positions under IFRS (including IFRS 9 and new product launches), ensuring we have a defensible and documented approach for every major decision.
• People management: Managing a team of Senior Accountants responsible for month end close, deep technical work and operational accounting (including accounts payable, vendor payments, invoicing).
• Internal controls and compliance: Partnering with the Director to build and test a robust internal controls framework, moving us to a mature and controlled environment. Responsible for tax compliance.

• Bank transition work: Assisting with the overall transition to a schedule 1 Bank, by delivering on financial reporting requirements, designing and implementing robust internal controls and establishing regulatory reporting processes for a regulated financial institution.

Who You Are

• Designated & Experienced: You hold a CPA designation with 5-7+ years of progressive experience, ideally with a mix of Big 4 audit and industry reporting (fintech or banking experience is a major asset).
• Technical Heavyweight: You have deep, hands-on expertise with IFRS (especially financial instruments) and are comfortable writing technical memos that can stand up to external audit partner review.
• Tax Savvy: You have functional experience with Canadian corporate and indirect tax compliance, confident in reviewing tax provisions and coordinating with external tax specialists.
• AI Curious & Capable: You have some hands-on experience with AI tools (LLMs, automation) to streamline workflows, but more importantly, you possess a strong interest in leveraging AI to modernize the finance function.
• People Leader: You have proven experience managing or supervising accountants, with a passion for reviewing work, providing feedback, and elevating the technical skills of your direct reports.
• Process Architect: You don't just follow a checklist; you look for ways to optimize the month-end close, improve data quality from source systems, and implement controls that make the audit smoother every year.
